you have hope
Location
one day I looked at the world
i made a personal choice long ago
that i would vow to see the beauty in it
even though most of the time
it was filled with corruption
war
poverty
starvation
and still is to this day
i look at the people living in this world
I mean, I truly look at them
my friends specifically
and I see everything they're made of
i have laser eyes that see right through their skull
and I imagine their future
their hopes and their dreams
layed out like a blueprint perfectly designed right in front of my face
i see their eyes shine bright with anticipation and longing
when you talk about their vast interests or when they discuss their thoughts
but whenever i hear the toxic words or phrases that come out of their mouth
for example
im not good enough
im ugly
i cant do it
im done
my heart sinks to the bottom of my stomach
just knowing that they dont see theirself
like how i seem them
makes me want to grab their arms
look them dead in the eyes
and say
this fight isnt going to be easy
your mind a warzone
some thoughts die
some thoughts live
but you have got to promise me to move on
keep aggressively attacking the enemy
called negative thoughts
or low self esteem
because one day the war
right up here
will be over
the day where all the depression
anxiety
whatever is stopping you from trying
surrenders
puts down ther weapons
they succumb to the good vibes
the laughs
they give up
finally
everything stopping you from smiling
all the dreams inside your head can now finally be made a reality
i want you to make it to the day where you can easily get out of bed
and say , "holy shit , i made it."
all the situations you thought were impossible
have been made possible
you grew up
you have a job
a family
that one person that finally gave you purpose
you have made it to the point
where you aren't dreading waking up
you feel overwhelmingly blessed that you can
get up in the morning to a place called home
